US AMBASSADOR GUILFOYLE MEETS GREEK ORTHODOX ARCHBISHOP, REQUESTS PRAYERS FOR TRUMP

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the first female US Ambassador to Greece, met with Archbishop Ieronymos II, head of the Greek Orthodox Church, in Athens on November 13, 2025, just over a week after presenting her diplomatic credentials to Greece's president on November 4.

Guilfoyle, 56, a former California prosecutor and Fox News host who was once engaged to Donald Trump Jr., told the 87 year old archbishop he was the first person she called after being nominated to her new post.

"It's wonderful to be here and I'm just very grateful that President Trump has blessed me with the opportunity to serve the United States here in Greece, for the relationship that we have and for that growing and blossoming going forward," Guilfoyle stated during the meeting.

The new US ambassador thanked Archbishop Ieronymos "for agreeing to pray for President Trump." Guilfoyle told the archbishop, "I just want to tell your beatitude I was very touched when I first got the nomination, we were able to speak on the phone, you were the first person that I called and it was just a very special experience.

It made me feel connected spiritually and supported and blessed by the relationship that I know we will continue going forward together to accomplish great things."

Archbishop Ieronymos responded, "I thank the president for the opportunity that he gave us today. May God bless these relations."

The meeting between the US ambassador and the leader of the Greek Orthodox Church signals continued diplomatic engagement between the United States and Greece's religious establishment.

The Greek Orthodox Church holds significant cultural and spiritual influence in Greece, where Orthodox Christianity is the predominant faith.

THE CRUSADER'S OPINION

President Trump's ambassador asked an Orthodox archbishop to pray for the president.

Not apologize for American power.

Not make excuses for Western values.

She requested spiritual support.

This is what diplomatic engagement with Christianity should look like: recognition that spiritual authority matters, that prayer has power, that the Church deserves respect from secular governments.

Archbishop Ieronymos blessed the relationship. He didn't lecture about separation of church and state or complain about religious establishment.

The Greek Orthodox Church understands something Western secular elites forgot: nations need God's blessing. Leaders need prayer. Spiritual power shapes temporal affairs.

This meeting represents how America should engage ancient Christian traditions: with honor, humility, and recognition of shared heritage.
